about us

Cat Care Collective was founded by Laura & Meg, two trusted pet professionals and enthusiastic cat lovers. We offer an extraordinary level of expertise and many years of experience working with animals and within the pet care community.  We love cats for their unique personalities and we designed our business to respond to their unique needs. With many years of pet care and professional experience between us, we imagined a service that specializes in providing customized cat care exclusively for cats and their owners.

Our service provides a caring and enriching experience for cats who are home alone while ensuring their environment is well looked-after. We value communication and transparency and our goal is to ensure our clients and their cat companions enjoy a high level of trust, safety & care. We are insured, educated, Fear Free Certified and Pet First Aid Certified. As active members of the Toronto pet community we participate avidly in ongoing education, collaborate on community initiatives, and network with other pet professionals.
